As the Still, Fair Court (lyrics)

[Verse 1] He told me of the River bright That flows from Him to me, That I might be for His delight A fair and fruitful tree. [Chorus] That as the still, fair court to me Afar from strife and din, So unto Him my heart should be, And He would rest therein. [Verse 2] He told me that as doves that rise Far through the golden light, So He would lead me through the skies In raiment pure and white. [Chorus] That as the still, fair court to me Afar from strife and din, So unto Him my heart should be, And He would rest therein. [Bridge] And on my knees I knelt and prayed To Him Who is my Sun and Shade. There came to me that saying deep: “Who loveth Me, My words will keep. And him My Father loveth well, And We will come with him to dwell.” [Final Chorus] That as the still, fair court to me Afar from strife and din, So unto Him my heart should be, And He would rest therein. [Outro] Yes, Lord, through Thy precious Blood, Am I the resting-place of God. Am I the resting-place of God.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
